If you like to actually do your computing locally, it sucks. If you’re using it for web browsing, the specs are great.

They actually changed their policy on the heat of the coffee in the wake of the lawsuit. Also the lady only sued to have her medical bills covered but thr judge awarded her a bunch of punitive damages.

For sure. I use a HOTAS in addition to the VR setup. I also enjoy manually docking on various stations with the assists off.

The major playlists are still payola, just by a different name
- Comment on We got more games and better games when there was less money being made in the industry. 2 weeks ago:
It was a crazy year. Viewtiful Joe, Price of Persia: Sands of Time, SSX 3, Soul Calibur II, Star Wars: KoTOR? Damn, son.
- Comment on We got more games and better games when there was less money being made in the industry. 2 weeks ago:
The really good games started coming out somewhere in the late '90s, I think?
Many people have 1998 as the year when the most “best games of all time” came out, though 2001 and 2003 were also unbelievably stacked with all-time bangers.
Now that said, it heavily depends on the platform. For PC gaming, the peak might have been the early 90s, when we were seeing stuff like Rollercoaster Tycoon, SimCity 2000, Doom, Civilization, etc.

Subjectively, we all get final ruling on reality. Objectively? Might be impossible to know, but we can’t be sure.
- Comment on What's a good audiobooks server/client combo? 3 weeks ago:
So happy to hear this. It’s so nasty to me when devs lock essential features like offline playback behind a paywall.
- Comment on systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success 3 weeks ago:
Nobody is packaging a standard init script across all distros, basically. A script is expected to be unique per machine or at least per admin setting up a set of machines. A binary could have a secret exploit installed in it that nobody can see/audit before it’s too late.
At least that’s the theory. Personally I love systemd
- Comment on Race for AI is making Hindenburg-style disaster ‘a real risk’, says leading expert 3 weeks ago:
And if you have a retirement account with investments, kinda at all. The entire US economy is hinging on AI at this point, to a deranged degree. Almost more than oil, at this point.

Yeah, you’d think that if anyone could have cracked this it’d be them, but…
- Comment on What's a good audiobooks server/client combo? 3 weeks ago:
Audiobookshelf is great. For iOS I’ve got a friend with an iPhone who said that Still is feature complete and the in-app purchases are basically just an optional donation.
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks 3 weeks ago:
Ironically my biggest issue with Discovery is that it’s pretty right-wing with its CIA stand-in apologia and blatantly militaristic style in Seasons 1 and 2 at least.
That and the sheer degree of melodrama. Every episode needs to have scenes of at least one or two characters in total anguish. It just wears me down compared to other Treks.

Sarcasm. The comment you replied to was being facetious. Obviously things are not going swimmingly. Use your context clues.

So they were off by a factor of 2.35 (47 years is 2.35x 20 years)
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 1 month ago:
I have mine set like this. Clear bass can be adjusted further down, just depends. 400Hz is the boomy, buttery part of the range so if there’s too much boxy-ness you can turn that down judiciously. Keep in mind most musical pitch lives there too, though.

Makes sense, inflation and tariffs
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 1 month ago:
Maybe it’s just because I’m an audio engineer so I was able to EQ them to my taste, but I love my WH-1000XM4 cans. But yeah, their studio cans are both top tier and dirt cheap. MDR-7506, they’re like $80 and generally sound like a million bucks because they’re used in basically every single recording studio as reference headphones.
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 1 month ago:
Well, their TV brand is gone. Their headphones are still the top tier of consumer stuff and price-performance king for studio headphones

Socialist government, sure, but communism describes a stateless society. “Communist government” is an oxymoron.
Yes, I am that guy. Sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
